Whats this in My Beardies Tank?

[BeardieBob]

Just want to see if any of you guys know what this is in my beardies tank,

i feed him on crickets and so did the previous owners but laterly i found this black beetle looking thing in the tank and noticed it dug under the soil and came out now and then and this time i managed to catch it,

does anyone know where it might of come from or what it is?

is it dangerous to my beardie?

cheers

It's a superworm beetle! It might munch on your beardie if you leave it in the tank... I'd just toss it outside. That's what I do with them.

little beetles and feeder worm things are usually kept with crickets and other feeders to "clean up" the mess that the crickets make. basically, they eat cricket poop. ewwww. They won't harm your beardie particularly if he eats them, but like Jasper's mom said, they can nibble on your beardie. I also wouldn't recommend feeding them to him. They do eat poo after all. Just chuck them away.
